A LESSON WITH A MORAL.
When viii Our Eyes be Opened to thi,
Great National Calamity.

The year 1856 played sad havoc Will
many prominent men OF our country.
Many OF them died without warning
passing away apparently in the full flesh u
lie.
Others were sick but Il comparatively
! short time. We turn to our flies and are
astonlsbed to find that most al them died
OF apoplexy, Of paralysis. OF nervous pros
tratDn, OF malignant blood hUmor. Ui
bright disease. OF heart disease, uf kidney
| disease, Olrhcnmat.sm or OF pneumonia.
III IL sad that most OF oEr prominent
men die OF these disorders Any Journal
list who watches the telegraph reports, will
| be astonished at the number OF prominent
victims OF these disorders.
Many statements have appeared in our
| paper with Others TO the effect that the
disease that carried of SO many prominent
men IN 1886, are really one disease taking
different names according to the location
| oil the fatal effects
When valuable horse pcrishrs it be-
comes the nine days talk Of the sporting
world, and yet thousands OF ordinary
horses are dying every day, their aggregate
loss is enormous, aud yet III, ir death Gre
ate no comment.
SO 1t Is with individuals. The cause of
death oil prominent men creates comment,
especially when it can be shown that one
unsupported disease carries oil most of
them, and yet vast numbers Of ordinary
men and women die before their time every
year from the same cause"
1t Is said II the blood is kept free from
urc acid, that heart disease, paralysis,
nervous prostratiOh, pneumonia, rheuma-
tlsm and many cases Of consumption
would never be known. This uric acid. we
are told, is tho watse Of the system, and it
is the duty OF the kidneys to remove this
waste.
We are told that if the kidneys are main
tanned in perfect health, the uric. kidney.
acid Id kept out of the blood, and these
sudden and universal diseases caused by
uric acid will i'll a large measure disappear.
But how shall this he done9 1t is folly to
treat effects. II there is any known way of
getting at the cause, that way should be
known to the public. We believe thatWar-
ner's Safe cure, OF which SO much has been
written, and so much talked OF by the pub
lie generally is now recognized BY Impair
tail physicians and the public as the one
specific for such diseases.
Because public attention has been di.
rected to this great remedy by means ofad-
vertising, some persons have not believed
IN the remedy. We cannot see how Mr.
Warner could Immediately benefit the pub
lie IN any other way, and his valuable spe-
cific should not be condemned because
some nostrums have come before the public
in the same way, any more than that all
doctors should be condemned because SO
many OF them are incompetent.
1t Is astonishing what good opinions you
hear on every side of that great remedy and
public opinion thus based upon an actual
experience, has all the weight and import
ance OF absolute truth.
At this time OF the year, the uric acid in
the blood invites pneumonia and rheuma-
tlsm, and there is not a man who does not
dread these monsters OF disease; but he
need have no fear Of them we are told, II he
rid the blood OF the uric acid cause.
These words are strong and may sound
like an advertisement, and be rejected az
such by unthinking people, but we believe
they are the truth, and as such should be
spoken by every truth-loving newspaper.
